Kranbau Koethen -A company with a rich history

from Central Germany

Kranbau Koethen GmbH is a medium-sized company that specialises in special-purpose, process

and automatic cranes. We have been manufacturing modern, customised crane systems as EOT,

semi-gantry or full-gantry cranes at our Koethen site in Saxony-Anhalt since we were founded in

1934.

We work as partners and in close cooperation with our customers thanks to our excellent consultation

services and focus on solutions. By working with Kranbau Koethen, you are not only putting your

trust in a skilled partner with international experience, you also receive all services (from planning,

construction, manufacturing and assembly to servicing) from a single source.

Heavy-duty process cranes -crane systems for reliable,

continuous operation

Process cranes from Kranbau Koethen are hoisting machines that are tailored to the customer’s

specific requirements. EOT cranes manufactured primarily for steel producing or steel processing

companies (smelters and rolling mills) are exposed to high loads in production. Whether in a

steelworks, domestic port or large factory hall – essentially machines that are used 24 hours a day

and must never fail – they are fully integrated into the company‘s production process.

Our well-defined quality management structure and careful design of the components ensure

excellent crane availability as well as safety and cost-effectiveness — and it is not just our customers

from the steel production and handling industries that reap the rewards.

Process cranes - special-purpose cranes and machinery

as well as automatic cranes

Every technology demands special machinery and handling equipment. We provide a wealth of

experience as well as excellent engineers and play a valuable role in the success of state-of-the-

art technological processes. All crane systems that we deliver are customised to the customer’s

specific requirements.

Kranbau Koethen manufactures cranes for a wide range of applications: the cranes designed for

use in hot or cold operations achieve an outstanding permanent availability in the top power range

and impress with their quality and high level of safety. The cranes can be equipped for automatic

operation and with warehouse management systems. The benefits of crane automation are clear

to see: increased client productivity, reduced damage, less wear, lower costs, improved quality

standards thanks to automated processes, time savings and reduced space requirements.

Gantry cranesThe right solution for

every application

Kranbau Koethen offers fully or semi-automated gantry cranes in solid girder or lattice versions.

Gantry cranes in lattice girder designs (as a single or dual rail version) can be realised from low

load-carrying capacities all the way up to heavy-duty cranes. The working speeds are adjusted to

match the necessary transport and handling performance. To determine which crane is best for

you, we analyse your requirements and then work together with you to develop the right gantry

crane to suit your application.

When developing individual solutions and approaches, we draw on our decades of experience in

building special-purpose cranes.

Our portfolio includes

■ Wide span gantry cranes in dual or single rail design■ Gantry cranes with wide gantries■ Gantry cranes with multiple travelling cranes■ Gantry cranes for heavy load areas■ Fully or semi-automated gantry cranes■ ...

Repair of components

Page 12

The modernisation of mechanical and electrical components on the existing crane can be a good

alternative to purchasing a new crane. When combined with new crane components, the service life

can be extended and the productivity of the crane system is often increased.

ModernisationAre your crane systems fit for the future?

Ask us:Before any of this can happen, though, a reliability study must be carried out to determine the curent condition of the crane. This check includes a technical assessment regarding further operation and/or modification. It also provides information on wear and tear, corrosion, aging and fatigue for the crane system. This check produces a theoretical estimate of the remaining service life and a recommendation (in the form of a modernisation plan) for the next steps.
